YECs believe that most rocks were laid down in two main episodes.

The first was in creation week, particularly when God caused the waters of the Earth to gather together into the sea and dry land to appear.

The effects of a global watery catastrophe would have been enormous, with massive amounts of erosion and sedimentation.
The effects of a global watery catastrophe would have been enormous, which would form massive amounts of erosion and sedimentation during a short period of time.
Further, many young-Earth creationists believe that there was a single supercontinent prior to the Flood, which broke up during the Flood.
Further, many young-Earth creationists believe that there was a single supercontinent prior to the Flood. This single land mass broke apart during the Flood when the subterranean waters bursted out of the subterranean chambers, causing the earth to break apart (see also: [[Hydroplate Theory]]). According to many Young earth creationists, there was probably fewer oceans with much more land on the earth prior to the flood. It is believed that the worldwide water quantity increased after the flood. The sea trenches and ocean floors sunk further down after the flood waters subsidized, because of the increased pressure of the water, thus causing the sea levels to drop.<ref>http://creationwiki.org/Hydroplate_theory</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=390_ILj34oM&feature=channel_video_title</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hbj7FXQ-RY&feature=relmfu</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hbj7FXQ-RY&feature=relmfu</ref> Young earth creationists also believe that many of the mountains, valleys, and lakes we see today were formed by the geological transformation caused by the flood. This would have further contributed to a massive reshaping of the Earth's surface.
